NetPIPE (Network Protocol Independent Performance Evaluator) is a benchmarking tool designed to assess the performance of network protocols and the communication capabilities of different systems over a network. It measures parameters such as bandwidth, latency, and message throughput by sending data packets between nodes. NetPIPE provides a framework for testing various network configurations, allowing users to evaluate how different protocols and setups perform under different conditions. It is particularly useful in high-performance computing environments, where efficient data transfer is critical.
